HN should have tags (not subreddits) like some other sites. The tags can be added on the create post form and also auto-added / modified by moderators.
Then you can view the full HN feed, or filter to specific tags, or filter to exclude specific tags.
You can ignore the tags and the site still works as it always did. Or you can filter e.g. to exclude Apple, or politics, or crypto, or anything else you don’t want for whatever reason. Or you can filter to your niche (e.g. compilers or operating systems) at the cost of a lot less posts because HN isn’t that large.
